I've had these for a month or two now and use them a lot for opening boxes and cutting cardboard (just moved). The little tape cut piece is just plastic and doesn't cut very easily; I've found that you have to poke it through the tape and push it forward, but when you get to a thicker area it won't go through. Fiskar's suggestion: put a real blade in it so it actually cuts through the tape. It's easy to disassemble for a knife, but for some reason it's not that easy to put together. Haven't used a sharpener yet, but it's nice that it's built into the lid. I haven't used any other options but they are available. I never found scissors handy; I have thin fingers and these are no different. They claim to be comfortable but I can't imagine what it would be like if they had thumbs; mine barely fit. Overall I would still highly recommend these shears for anything they can do.
